The internet was absolutely not having it, and inundated the streaming service's Twitter feed with a deluge of angry, all-caps questions until they were forced to respond.

Netflix U.K. and Ireland said that they did not edit the notebook and an "alternate version exists and was supplied to us" but assured everyone that they are "getting to the bottom of it asap."

Netflix U.S. assured fans that the film, which is supposed to hit the streaming service March 1, will be "the version that has always made you sob."
